Featured Game on CBS

[PrincetonTiger]

Can you believe that after the dismal season in 2011 that the Colts are the featured broadcast in week 6.

[GoColts8818]

It seems odd. The 2009 Colts that started 14-0 and went to a Super Bowl was not the featured broadcast on CBS till they got to the AFC Title game that season. I think it speaks to their just not being a lot of good AFC games this week. The best one is on MNF with Peyton and the Chargers. The Texans game is on NBC although it would be Fox if it was not a prime-time game. The Ravens are also on Fox so that just leaves the Pats who are playing the Seahawks as about the only other realistic choice and I am guessing whoever makes these decisions for CBS probably listened to Nantz and Simms who would rather stay on the east coast than going all the way to Seattle. I guess you could argue for the Bills and Cardinals but again I think CBS sees a major media market in the Jets vs. a team who people want to see the top over all draft pick coming off a huge upset and who frankly kinda been a major story in the NFL since this off-season. I think people around the country are curious to see what the Colts look like with Luck after all the talk about Manning leaving this off-season.

i wish AFN (armed forces network) would play a colts game. but no its always the cowboys or the steelers

[John Waylon]

It's an interesting game. It's a must win for the boisterous Jets and the media circus they are, and we made a HUGE splash last week, and a win this week could turn us into the Cinderella story of this season.

Not to mention the media is hungry to see Luck put on another show like last week's so they can feast on that for a while...

What do you mean by "featured"? It's still a regional game. Do you mean they have their #1 team broadcasting?

I like it whenever Indy can get Nantz and Simms doing their games.

Big game for both teams....

[CR91]

[Stephen]

[Grantis2911]

I'm stuck with KC vs. Tampa... Guess I'll be Gamecasting this one.

[Gavin]

should get NFL Rewind that NFL.com offers, its a bit pricey....70.00$ but if you can afford it you can see all the games around the league(after they are over) as well as games from the past 3 seasons as well as Coaches film

[Smonroe]

Yes Nantz and Simms..

Maybe they'll know a few of the Colts names. We've been getting some really bad teams announcing. I'd synch up the radio but it would have to be redone every time I change the channel during the breaks.

[Andy]

In all fairness, there are terrible CBS games this week.

However, it's great to be back as the featured game.

[Grantis2911]

What radio station broadcasts the game?

1070 the fan out of Indianaopolis

[John Dee]

Anyone remember when Simms (who had criticized Luck's arm) was on the Grady and Big Joe show?

Really fun to go back and listen to what was said after last season.

I can't wait to hear what Simms has to say this week. And as far as "zip on he ball goes" ... Andrew has it. and more.

[PrincetonTiger]

I will still listen to Lamey/Woolford

I do that all the time... delay kinda sucks but... wat the hey...

[TKnight24]

I FINALLY GET THE GAME (NFL moved the Ravens & Cowboys game to Fox)

THIS WILL BE ONLY MY 2ND TIME WATCHING OUR COLTS THIS SEASON (1st Time was the Season Opener vs CHI)

:disco:

[PrincetonTiger]

I do that all the time... delay kinda sucks but... wat the hey...

me too

Yeah, it'll be Jim Nantz and Phil Simms, which is really surprising. Usually they are slotted for big time 4PM games, but hey, they're great, so no complaints.

[BuildtheMonster1285]

So is this game going to be broadcast throughout the whole country or just in Indy?

It's pretty well spread out tomorrow. With that said the Colts do have the "A" announce team.

[coltsfanmilyman]

and i get stuck watching Atl demolish Oak. . . .maybe like last week they will switch games so I can watch the colts again. . .otherwise I have to watch by other means. . . I can say besides the sun(Its too hot in CA) missing the colts games makes CA suck!!!!!!!! I'm going to have 90 degree temps next week. . .smh

[corgi]

I have Sunday Ticket, but on the local CBS I'm getting Raiders vs. Falcons.....wow!

[Kenny]

Gamecast? See there's a dreamcast n then there's a gamecube **end of Malibus Most Wanted pun .

[achcolts]

i was getting this game either way since im from nj

[Vance]

I don't really know about featured game. It is Jim Nanzt and Phil Simms, but it's at 1pm, and CBS doesn't have a doubleheader this week, Fox does, Dallas @ Baltimore and NY @ SF regionally speaking and will be much more popular games.

"Featured" game simply means it will be broadcast to the largest portion of the country by the network covering the game (in this case CBS). Nantz and Simms are CBS number 1 announce crew and will announce this game, their games aren't always the featured game,

Same here just from Indiana

Thanks for that link. Sadly I dont get it here. GRRRRRRR

[ColtsBlueFL]

What radio station broadcasts the game?

I used to cue up WOWO out of Fort Wayne through laptop, tablet, or a radio app on the smartphone if I was out of the house until I started getting Max package on my Sunday Ticket.

[PrincetonTiger]

What radio station broadcasts the game?

Here in the pocket it it WZDM out of Vincennes and WGBF in Evansvile

Yeah that's what I was saying, CBS doesn't really have a featured game this week because they only have a singleheader, Fox has the big games this week.

[Jim H.]

Here in central NC we have to watch the Edit falcon/raider game.

Too bad for Nantz and Simms. They thought they'd get to see something special out of Andrew Luck after last week's game. They had to sit through one of the worst games we'll play this season.
